WEST VIRGINIA POLITICS.

News of Interest Clean. from Our West
Virginia Exchanges.
We never knew there was any "hatchet
to bury" between Governor Wilson and
Congressman Snyder until we were en-
lightened by the State Tribune. We have
always looked upon both these distin-
guished gentlemen as simon pure Demo
Gratis, and presumed that each has been in
the habit Of voting for the other whenever
an opportunity presented itself. We can
not tumble to the TTibHae's statement
that they are coming together" Con-
spring for what purpose? We cannot
realize the necessity Of n conspiracy III
order that the Democrats may carry this
old Congressional District. The party
will meet in convention as usual, at the
proper time and place, nominating its
choice, the people will elect him, without
the aid of a conspiracy, Republican votes
or the Tri6URe's influence and that Will be
the end of it. The Tribune is precocious
duck.-NOuRtaiR Herald.
The Wayne County Meas says: y. D.
Anderson, of Nicholas, and J. W. st. Clair,
of Fayette are candidates for Congress in
the Third district. These are both good
men, and either would make an able rep
resentativa in Congress. This district was
formerly the Gibralter Of Democracy in
the State, but some of the strongest Demo
cratic counties are so badly afflicted with
political sore heads, kickers, mugwumps
and self-cOnstituted reformers that the
nominee does not have fine sailing as OF
wore. st. Clair is one Of the best mixers,
most sagaciOus managers and able stump
speakers in the State, and would give the
opposition a red hot campaign. "-NeIO

Our own old big, ugly, gswky Nelse
Campbell is candidate for Circuit Judge
of this judicial district. We can not con-
ceiye OF anything that would make rs hap
pier than TO see him elected to the posi-
tion. He has not q superior in the matter
OF Legal attaiument9 in the district. He il
a whole souled, kind-hearted gentleman,
with heart in him twice as big as his
huge body. He il a sOciable, jolly, good
natured soul, and would divide his last
crust with any One in need. II he has an
enemy in the world we do not suppose he
is aware of il. Ne!se il heavy enough to
hold the bench" in It's place. 1t IS to be
hoped that he will get there. -UountGiR

Congressman c. Z Hog3 passed through
our towG, on Wednesday, Oil his way to
Burning Springs. He stopped long enough
to make our people a neat little speech on
the issues which will probably occupy the
attention of Congress next winter. Mr..
Hogg showed that q reduction CT tariff
should ne made by the n'Nt Congress, and
particularly OF sugar, which il an article

The fight in West Virginia next year

State ticket The Republicans would
rather have L. S. Senator than a Gov

Governorship. Well, he wnnld be elected
if nominated, and would grace the guber-
